MINUTES OF AN EXTRAORDINARY MEETING OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Date, time and location:

On July 14, 2009, at 6:00 p.m., via teleconference centralized at the headquarters of Votorantim Industrial S/A, at Rua Amauri, 255 – 13th floor, in the city of São Paulo/SP.

Attending:

The meeting was attended by the following members of the Board of Directors: Raul Calfat

(Chairman of the Board), Alexandre D’Ambrósio, Sérgio Duarte Pinheiro, Gilberto Lara Nogueira and Wang Wei Chang.

The Meeting was presided by Mr Raul Calfat, Chairman of the Board of Directors. José Luiz Braga, General Counsel, acted as Secretary.

Summary of the Deliberations:

(I)      The Board of Directors was informed that (a) due to the lack of sufficient quorum, the Special Shareholders Meeting of Holders of Class A Preferred Shares of Aracruz , scheduled to happen on second call on July 10, 2009, was not convened, and that (b) despite having been convened with the presence of holders of 37.39% of the relevant Class of shares, the Special Shareholders Meeting of Holders of Class B Preferred Shares of Aracruz, also scheduled to happen on second call on July 10, 2009, did not vote the conversion of Class B Preferred Shares into Common Shares of Aracruz, since the number of shareholders present was not sufficient to validly take the decisions set forth in the Agenda, although the majority of the shareholders present at the Meeting (73.40%) had given voting instructions in a manner so as to approve the conversion as proposed.
 
(II)      Whereas (a) the Special Shareholders Meetings referred to above have each been called in a second call without having achieved the quorum as legally required, (b) that the vast majority of the shareholders that attended the Special Shareholders Meeting of Holders of Class B Shares of Aracruz had given voting instructions in a manner so as to approve the conversion as proposed and (c) it is not in the best interest of the Company to postpone the implementation of its ongoing corporate reorganization, it was decided to call an Extraordinary General Shareholders Meeting of Aracruz Celulose S.A., to be held on July
